  1. Going to the Doctor while in Monitoring Program- Need Advice!

    Twoyearnurse replied to KyBeagle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think every individual has to choose what is right for themselves. I am the type to stress myself *more* over not following what my monitoring agreement stipulates. This is my career, I have worked...

  2. Failed drug screen in VRP

    Twoyearnurse replied to IrishCMSRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What's been done can't be undone. The board will make a decision. Let's day they extend your contract. Is your profession worth it to you? One of the first jobs I had when everything fell apart was...

  3. Needing some direction

    Twoyearnurse replied to Everest76's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You know *you* best. That is a stressful deal. With that though... It's part time. Do they allow on-call? I currently work on-call in psych. I get up to 130 hours per month and I schedule myself. I go...

  4. Has anyone had any issues with rudeness when giving urine?

    Twoyearnurse replied to TraviesaRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There are those people. I am fortunate and all the folks I have worked with have been professional, if not absolutely lovely to me. I am so sorry you've had these experiences. I'm glad you got to...

  5. Visitors to our little corner

    Twoyearnurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've noticed a theme developing over the past few months (it's probably been a theme all along) centered around visitors to our little corner. I see a few sides to this topic, and each side makes good...

  6. Going to the Doctor while in Monitoring Program- Need Advice!

    Twoyearnurse replied to KyBeagle's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hey hey! I've actually started bringing a copy of my contract a day or so before the appointment is scheduled. I tell the practitioner "I am in recovery and part of that is this contract from the BON....

  7. Observed Urine Screens

    Twoyearnurse replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    That's what I thought too. Glad I am not alone in

  8. Observed Urine Screens

    Twoyearnurse replied to tarab333's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, I live in a harsher state. No alternative program. Five year contact. Observed UAs. Permanent mark on my record. Such is life and it is doable, and I am grateful to keep my

    Every. Single.

  10. Drug diversion

    Twoyearnurse replied to gmwilli2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The suspension was lifted after 6 months but if I mess up on my contract they'll reenact the

  11. Drug diversion

    Twoyearnurse replied to gmwilli2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Your employer has a legal obligation to report you. It can take weeks up to months. I did not self-refer and it took them 6 months to contact me. By that time I had completed treatment. We don't have...

  12. Suboxone treatment

    Twoyearnurse replied to Heynurse29's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I had a five star review the week before I was fired for diverting narcotics from my work place. I had excellent social relationships with folks at work , my patients and their family members loved...

  13. Unsure what to do

    Twoyearnurse replied to Medschoolnsu's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Get a lawyer well versed in dealing with the BON. While everything included in the complaint may not be accurate you still violated nursing practice. Your license could be sanctioned, suspended,...

  14. BoN report to police?

    Twoyearnurse replied to RN1992pkwz's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd wait it out, as frustrating as that might be. In my state theft of drugs is a felony (probably every state really) and possession is also a felony (and yes, admission as well as positive UAs does...

  15. Probation?

    Twoyearnurse replied to Bayounurse7's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Are you in an alternative to discipline state? If not (like mine) it can take a little while before it appears (i.e. It took them one full quarter before they updated their disciplinary actions...

  16. RN just completed probation. Can't find a job

    Twoyearnurse replied to Emod's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nope! A job is a job. A career is a career. Nursing is not some golden job that only the pure of heart can do. Anyone can do it, some people can do it exceptionally (as they can in any other job)....

  17. RN just completed probation. Can't find a job

    Twoyearnurse replied to Emod's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It'll be just fine! My permanent record states I stole drugs from my work place. And yet, while on probation, I have managed to find work. With that said, you may find yourself working in areas you...

  18. Positive ETG

    Twoyearnurse replied to Wrighttashan's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Read labels and look into all food closely. Kumbacha at the store has warning labels that if you are staying away from alcohol you shouldn't drink it. I am sending you good

  19. Diversion/license surrender

    Twoyearnurse replied to PurpleRN1227's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There are nurses here ago have gone through criminal cases and through the board at the same time. The beginning is so frightening and we've been there ! Stick

  20. Former classmate

    Twoyearnurse replied to applesxoranges's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would love it if my old classmates/coworkers were to say "I know what happened and it's okay, I'm here for

  21. Placed on Monitoring as New Grad

    Twoyearnurse replied to Insperation's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Chin up! While the likely hood is that you won't be able to get out from under the monitoring agreement you could, perhaps, argue the stipulation regarding narcotic access and night shift. To to...

  22. Celebrate Recovery

    Twoyearnurse replied to Sally87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I did. I worked for two years at a non-profit in HIV prevention. The listing asked for a human services degree or related field and I though "well, my degree in nursing is human services so why not!"...

  23. Certified addict nurse able to report nurse patient?

    Twoyearnurse replied to Daisy321's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unfortunately yes, she can disclose that because it is her duty to do so. At least this is true in my

  24. Celebrate Recovery

    Twoyearnurse replied to Sally87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Here's something my dad said to me: if there is a name for it, someone has done it before. it takes time but you will get through this. Addiction/alcohol issues are prevalent in our society. It hits...

  25. Celebrate Recovery

    Twoyearnurse replied to Sally87's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do you have anyone in your life that's close to you to share those feelings with? People that lift you up? I went the AA route, I dig the people though I am agnostic. I find a way to make it work. id...
